Default peugeot 306 GTI-6, worth buying

got the chance to buy a R-reg 306 GTI-6

has a blown head gasket & a fooked exhuast

only wants £350 for it, is it worth buying to make a bit of cash on

either fix it up or just sell it straight on via fleabay

probably around the £250 mark - but are you sure its only the headgasket gone as it would be a good buy if you was sure

Check the CO2 levels from the zorst - Check the oil see if there is any water in there - Usually the fans only blow either hot/cold not both.

Best bet would be to take a friend/mechanic of yours around with you and have a look - plus if its a mechanic he can tell you how much he would charge you at the sametime, this way you know what your dealing with straight away
